More on Those Pesky Double Standards: Democrats Attack GAGOP Chair for Holding the Same Position as John Barrow & Sanford Bishop

People like to say there's little common ground between Democrats and Republicans. They say both parties are dominated by the extremes on both ends of the political spectrum; and that there's little hope for bipartisan agreement between the left and the right. There are times, however, when Democrats and Republicans come together on a single issue.

For our purposes today, gay marriage happens to be one of those bipartisan issues.

One would expect cheers to erupt from Democrats as they learned the Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party agrees with two senior members of Congress from their side. But there were no cheers Monday as GAGOP Chair Sue Everhart joined John Barrow and Sanford Bishop in opposing gay marriage. All we heard were blistering attacks on Chairman Everhart from Democrats and their mainstream media allies.

While those on the left were loudly hurling insults at Sue Everhart for her position of gay marriage, they remained strangely silent in their criticisms of John Barrow and Sanford Bishop.
